Hey John,I'm glad that you brought that up. I'm an excellent speller, but I struggle with the proper usage of semi-colons, elipseseses, dashes, quotation marks/ending punctuation.
I'm a big fan of Charles Osgood with regard to this - he seems to have all of this under control, and is quite likely the most grammatically articulate person I've heard (along with Bill Buckley).
But, the written word is a different animal than the spoken word, and the written word is where I have trouble duplicating the intent of the spoken word.
Can you point me to a good, more-or-less concise, reference source for these things?
Thanks!
